Shangguan Zhu was stunned by the question.
He made up an excuse, "I went to visit my aunt. My aunt learned that Princess Huai'an was injured, so she asked me to deliver some medicine."
"Even though Concubine Rong is so considerate of my younger sister, she didn't let her personal eunuch go, but chose to do it at night and let you, a stranger, go..."
Shangguan Zhu then realized that Zhao Ying was waiting for him here!
He first saved a widowed princess, and then went to give her medicine...
The relationship between these two people is unclear.
Isn't it ridiculous that the unclear relationship between him and his elder brother's lover Bai Yueguang has been exposed?
Before Shangguan Zhu could answer, Zhao Ying exclaimed.
"ah!"
She seemed to realize something and covered her mouth.
Then, his gossipy and ambiguous eyes turned to Shangguan Zhu and Zhao Yao, "I am sorry for being nosy... It's okay, it's okay. Second uncle is married, and sister Huai'an is a nun. How could they have an improper relationship?"
She looked at Concubine Shu, "Your Highness must be here, right?"
Concubine Shu nodded immediately, "I am here!"
Zhao Ying smiled indifferently.
She first gave this excuse to Concubine Shu, and no matter what Concubine Shu said, everyone would think she was covering up for her.
Sure enough, everyone's eyes began to become complicated.
Shangguan Zhu was speechless and quickly reported to Emperor Jianxi, "Your Majesty, I was really just delivering medicine!"
Seeing this, Concubine Rong had no choice but to step forward to cover up for Shangguan Zhu, "Your Majesty, I actually asked Tingzhi to deliver the medicine."
Zhao Ying asked casually, "What medicine did the Imperial Concubine send?"
Concubine Rong smiled, almost scratching her head as she thought about it, and after a while she stammered, "It's nothing more than some medicine to stop bleeding and suppuration."
"Zhuzhu ointment?"
Concubine Rong: "Yes!"
Zhao Ying: "Isn't Curcuma Ointment supposed to invigorate blood circulation?"
Concubine Rong: ...
Shangguan Zhu:!!
Concubine Shu:? ?
The old Duke frowned deeply. When he thought that it was Shangguan Zhu, not Shangguan Shu, who had something fishy going on with Zhao Yao, he became more depressed and irritated.
Why did Princess Huai'an choose to take advantage of the men from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Could she change to another family?
The prince's eyes rolled around, his face full of gossip.
After all, Emperor Jianxi was Zhao Yao's biological father, and his daughter was a nun. He felt ashamed to hear such a shameful thing, so he raised his hand and asked everyone to leave quickly.
He went to the inner hall to find some peace and quiet.
Everyone came out of the Yangxin Palace.
A nanny carried Zhao Yao on her back.
Zhao Ying said loudly to Shangguan Zhu, "Second Uncle! If you want to deliver medicine to Huai'an again, just give it to me directly. I will deliver it for you. Don't sneak into Zhongcui Palace in the middle of the night again!"
Shangguan Zhu: ...
The guards around stretched their necks when they heard the sound.
Originally, Emperor Jianxi had adjourned the court session, and no one knew what had happened.
At this point, everyone understood.
"Oh my god, Lord Shangguan sneaked into Zhongcui Palace in the middle of the night to look for Princess Huaian? No wonder His Majesty was so angry that he stopped attending court!"
"Tsk tsk, you even implicated General Shangguan. Look how beaten he got..."
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, before the few people returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the news had spread throughout the capital.
But... it's getting more and more outrageous!
"What? The Second Master of the Zhenguo family and Princess Huaian were caught having an affair in Zhongcui Palace?"
"What? These two spirit children are also Lord Shangguan's children?"
"What? The boy belongs to Lord Shangguan, and the girl belongs to the Xiongnu King?"
"What? Lord Shangguan loves the young widow the most? Was he the one who stole the widow a few days ago?"
"What a beast in human form..."
…
Inside the carriage.
Shangguan Shu was lying on the couch. Seeing Zhao Ying get on the carriage, he smiled softly.
Zhao Ying ignored his smile, sat down beside the carriage, and asked, "When did you change?"
Shangguan Shu's lazy eyelids lifted slightly, trying to hide something, but it only made it more obvious. "What?"
Zhao Ying frowned, "You're really good at pretending..."
Shangguan Shu responded to her with another laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh... My princess, it seems you can't get rid of me in this life..."
Seeing that he was so seriously injured, Zhao Ying was still talking to her about something else. She was very confused, "Shangguan Shu, I really don't understand you."
"Why won't you let me go even if you die?"
However, Zhao Ying did not get an answer.
Shangguan Shu probably fainted from the pain, closed his eyes and lay motionless.
She simply closed her eyes and took a nap.
No one noticed that the area around the man's closed eyelashes was unusually wet.
Shangguan Shu suddenly remembered that in the past, whenever he was slightly injured, Zhao Ying would shed tears of heartache and then carefully apply medicine to treat his wound.
How could a rich girl know anything about medicine? And neither did his biological aunt, so he was stumped by her question.
She would, because he was often injured.
But just now, he had been observing her expression, looking for even a trace of heartache on her face.
No.
Nothing.
Even if he lost his fingers and became disabled...
Today, everything is fake, only his despair at the moment when his finger was cut off is real.
Only he himself knew that he almost got into trouble.
Ever since he knew that Zhao Ying could hear Yue'er's thoughts, he had doubts about it. He couldn't do anything to Yue'er, and he couldn't bear to do it.
Yue'er is his and Zhao Ying's youngest daughter. He has held her in his hands since she was a child, but he held the wrong person in his hands.
He didn't know whether what Zhao Ying said to him was true or false until... Zhao Ying allowed him to stay in Gan Garden and took off his outer robe for him.
Before going to court the next day, he asked his confidant to find a theatrical robe and stuff it into the box in the secret room. He bet that Zhao Ying was coming for his secret room, so he could just take advantage of her.
